horizontal_tail_planform_raymer

horizontal_tail_planform_raymer(horizontal_stabilizer, wing, l_ht, c_ht)

Adjusts reference area before calling generic wing planform function to compute wing planform values.

Assumptions: None

Source: Raymer

Inputs: horizontal_stabilizer [RCAIDE data structure] wing [RCAIDE data structure] (should be the main wing) l_ht [m] length from wing mean aerodynamic chord (MAC) to horizontal stabilizer MAC c_ht [-] horizontal tail coefficient (Raymer specific) .5 = Sailplane, .5 = homebuilt,

.7 = GA single engine, .8 = GA twin engine .5 = agricultural, .9 = twin turboprop, .7 = flying boat, .7 = jet trainer, .4 = jet fighter, 1. = military cargo/bomber, 1. = jet transport

Outputs: horizontal_stabilier.areas.reference [m^2] Other changes to horizontal_stabilizer (see wing_planform)
